Eat Your Greens




One jar for me and one jar for the hens - around here it is share and share alike.


I start the sprouting jars each Sunday and by the end of the week I harvest the tiny greens for not only my enjoyment but the delight of my hens. They run towards me when I bring out the Saturday bounty like it has been months since they last tasted them. During the winter it is very had for all of us to get our greens - this is one way I can do it without ever having to leave the farm.... Eat those GREENS!!!

What a great idea! I tried planting the girls some collard greens but the seeds didn't germinate, I think it's too cold already but I can always grow sprouts on the kitchen counter! :)

My goats have also been looking foreword to me bringing in some to them - so I guess bigger jars will be out on the counter in the next week or two
